About The Position

LayerZero Power Systems designs and manufactures mission-critical power distribution and power quality infrastructure for data centers, cloud, and enterprise networks. The Senior Data Center Solution Architect owns customer system design for hyperscale and enterprise power solutions, including STS, PDU, RPP, hybrid AC/DC, and emerging 800 VDC architectures. The role leads customer data center power projects from concept through commissioning, translating reliability, redundancy, and capacity needs into technical designs and advising sales, engineering, and strategic data center operators.

The architect develops reference architectures for high rack power densities, AI workloads, and emerging power systems; guides integration of monitoring, DCIM, and SCADA; and works across engineering, product, construction, supply chain, manufacturing, and OEM partners to align standards and roadmaps. The role also supports modular and factory-built electrical systems, validates AI/HPC designs against vendor reference architectures, and participates in relevant standards groups.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years in data center power, critical infrastructure, or electrical systems design.
• Deep knowledge of power distribution, redundancy, and uptime architectures.
• Experience engaging hyperscale and enterprise data center operators.
• Strong communication skills across technical and executive audiences.
